For best performance, keep in mind the following:
•
All types of casseroles can be used on the ceramic glass
cooking surface. However, it is important that the bottom
be perfectly flat. Casseroles with thicker bottoms distribute
heat more evenly.
•
Use cookware the diameter of which is at least as large
as the cooking area so that all of the heat produced by
the heating element is used.
•
Make sure that the bottom of the pot is always dry and
clean to insure good contact between the cookware and
the cooking surface. This will also increase the life of the
pots and of the ceramic glass surface as well.
•
Do not use the same cookware that you use for gas
burners because the concentrated heat they produce can
deform the bottom of the pot. Therefore, you will not
achieve best results when using these pots on the
ceramic glass surface.
Notice: The glue used to seal the glass surface may leave
traces on the appliance. We recommend that the module be
cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner before being used the
first time. During the first few hours of use, you may detect
the smell of rubber; this will disappear after a short time.
